Handling Late Assignments
It is noted in one of the courses I teach, that no late homework is accepted. I have made exceptions in emergency situations, but the syllabus does not state that exceptions can be made. I would like to hear how other instructors handle late assignments.
My syllabus states the same as what you have mentioned. I have never had a problem. The syllabus does not state any exceptions for emergencies. This could get rather lengthy if you try to cover all types of emergency situations. However, you can add to the syllabus: "No late homework excepted, or in an emergnecy situation, at the discretion of the instructor". Just understand, students will always consider their situation as an emergency.
